Where Does Child Sex Abuse Take Place?

Unfortunately, sexual abuse often occurs within all types of institutions where adults work with children. Examples of these institutions are schools, foster care, churches, and daycares. It is critical for parents to teach their kids how to protect themselves and to have open discussions with their children. Most children are abused by somebody they know, so it’s important for parents to be aware of who their children are alone with. Parents typically teach their children about stranger danger, but the true danger is the trusted adults in your children’s lives, such as the friendly coach or the teacher or the preacher.
